From my good friend Russ commenting on my post “Musk & America Party”
Dear A.H.,
It was with some degree of bemusement of seeing Elon Musk’s intentions of forming a new political party.
Creating a “third” – or as I would like to call it – an “alternative” party – does have its challenges. It does take time to do so with a lot of manpower and funding (something of which I think that Elon can thus provide).
As you noted, the republicans and democrats have created their own exclusive club and don’t want any new members. As the political commentator Pat Buchanan has noted: “The republican and democrat parties are opposing wings of the same bird of prey.” They are the Uniparty, a perfect manifestation of professional wrestling where each play-by-play move and then final outcome of each match is planned far in advance.
If Elon Musk is looking for a better political party, he could have looked no further than the Constitution Party. Originally the US Taxpayers Party, it evolved into that name at the end of the 1990’s.
If you are seeking to find a party that adheres to the Constitution and our Founders’ original intent, with limited government, balanced budget, principled elected politicians, state’s rights and so many more issues, that is what the
Constitution Party represents. And we already have ballot access in about half of the US.
As a side note, I was the State Chairman for four years for the state of Utah and I am presently a county chairman. Importantly, our state party can only support candidates who are not only members of the Constitution Party, but are members in good standing as well, with the three criteria for such listed in our Bylaws.
And yes, I know, the warnings about having political parties, which our own party membership does struggle over. But how to you get any kind of traction without some kind of organization?
I wish Elon well in this endeavor. But it will definitely be an uphill battle. It will have to not only grab America’s attention, but also a new sense of purpose as well for it to gain its place in the political landscape of the united States.
I may be a bit biased, but I believe that it would have been even better if he had already seen his desires for change by coming to the Constitution Party. With his influence and financial resources, the sky could have been the limit with an already recognized and principled political party.
Best, Russ (For more information on the Constitution Party < click here >)
